How to make puppy to be a web server?
I am new to Puppy Linux. I wonder to know how to make the puppy to be a web server (Apache) under the live-dvd. Do I need to remaster the puppy?
Somewhere in one of the post on this site a guy (can't remember who) said he made a web server dotpup package.
Try searching for it with the search link, or try looking through the dotpup packages, unfortunatly there's no one place to look for them so you have to try the main Puppy page & go from there, I have trouble finding stuff & I've been here awhile.
The Puppy group really needs a single page for packages that links to the file site, there is one but it doesn't have much on it.

Puppy already has a simple webserver for simple tasks, see /root/ghttpd.

I was wondering if someone could point me in the right direction. I have installed this web server on a puppy machine (HD installed)
lighttpd:

It works great, very impressive - with Mambo and Mudpack. Now I would like to access the web server from other networked PuppyPCs. While I can ping each machine, we I try to connect with the browser from another machine, I get a message saying access denied.
What is the next step in creating an intranet?
many thanks
Ivan

do you have a firewall running in Puppy? you can shut down the firewall to see if it is blocking access by typing in a rxvt console window:
/etc/rc.d/rc.firewall stop
if shutting down the firewall allows you to connect to the web server, then you can configure the firewall script to allow incoming connections to that port
/etc/rc.d/rc.firewall stop
if shutting down the firewall allows you to connect to the web server, then you can configure the firewall script to allow incoming connections to that port
The firewall uses iptables now instead of ipchains. Iptables is easier to configure.
If you read through the file you should be able to see what is happening, if you cannot understand it I would suggest that you have a look at Rusty's HOWTO:

this should help you understand how firewalls work in Linux.
